A heavy, chunky display face with visibly eroded outlines and irregular, ink-blot edges. Strokes are broad and somewhat uneven, with counters that feel chewed-out or partially filled, reinforcing a worn printing effect. The letterforms keep mostly straightforward skeletons, but widths and interior shapes vary enough to create a lively, imperfect rhythm. Terminals are blunt and organic rather than crisp, giving the overall texture a stamped, distressed look.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as posters, gig and festival promotions, album/mixtape covers, apparel graphics, and punchy packaging labels. It also works well for horror or gritty game/UI title screens where texture is part of the mood. For longer passages, it benefits from larger sizes and relaxed spacing to keep letter recognition comfortable.
The font projects a gritty, DIY energy reminiscent of rough screenprints, photocopied flyers, and worn stencils. Its texture reads as loud and assertive, with an intentionally imperfect, analog character. The tone leans rebellious and street-level rather than refined or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold message with an intentionally distressed, printed-by-hand aesthetic. It prioritizes texture and attitude over smooth precision, aiming to evoke wear, rough reproduction, and tactile ink on paper. Overall, it functions as a statement display font built to add grit and character to headlines.
At text sizes the distressed contour becomes a dominant feature, and tight spacing can cause dark clustering in areas where counters are small. The most successful look comes from letting the texture breathe—moderate tracking and generous line spacing help maintain clarity while preserving the rough personality.
